External Services

Author Metrics by Eslam can optionally use external GeoIP services to determine a visitor’s country for country-level analytics. The site administrator controls all external GeoIP lookups from the plugin settings. When enabled and a local country signal is unavailable, the plugin sends the visitor IP address to the first available GeoIP provider in the fallback chain. No account, article, or analytics data is intentionally sent to these providers.

The plugin uses the public free ip-api endpoint only as a country-lookup fallback. According to ip-api’s current service information, the free endpoint is limited to 45 requests per minute, does not provide HTTPS/SSL, and is intended for non-commercial use. Site administrators should review ip-api’s current terms before enabling this provider and may disable all external GeoIP services from the plugin settings at any time.

No remote JavaScript or CSS libraries are required for the plugin interface. Required interface assets are bundled locally.

Privacy

Author Metrics by Eslam may store author/user IDs, article IDs, visit timestamps, IP addresses, referrers, user-agent information, country information, and security events needed to provide the analytics and administration features. Site administrators should configure an appropriate tracking-retention period and provide their own privacy disclosures as required by applicable laws.

Visitor analytics runs according to the site administrator’s tracking settings. Visits are classified according to the configured traffic-protection rules. Privacy-related signals such as Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC) can be classified as invalid traffic when the corresponding protection option is enabled.

When external GeoIP is enabled by the site administrator, visitor IP addresses may be sent to ipwho.is or ip-api for country lookup as described in the External Services section. The plugin also provides WordPress personal-data export and erasure callbacks for plugin-owned user data.
